'lhe said paper-carrier is givenoscillatory movement thioughthe medium of a crank-handle m secured tothepivot stud b outside of the casing M of the device. The roll ofpaper,

I, is applied to a spool on paper-holder which is rotatii'cly held between the disks 3),.2) or the paper-carrier indicated by e, recs.

and consists of a central tube 0 and two' disksC' 'C Said, spool issupported in the paper-carrier by means of a removable spindle 0 whichpasses through the said disksand the central tube of said spool.

The types for printing the tickets are supported in the carrier betweenthe two side plates. a, not said carrier insuch nian ner that theprinting surfaccs'of the ty'pes, when in operative position, are atequal die tances from the pivotal axis of the'pap'ier carrier-B. "Onsaid paper-carrier, between the marginal parts of the disks 6, byaremounted the impression roller la and the inking roller a In theoscillatory movement of said paper-carrier said inking-rollerisic'arried over the type, for supplying ink thereto, and the impressionroller is carried over the type to press the strip of paper against.tl1e said type; Ashicld a of curved or cylindric form, is attached atits endsto the disks Z), 6 and covers the inner-part ct the,inkingrollcr. The spindle a of said im'pression roller extends throughradial slots a ,-a*,'forn1ed in the marginalparts of the disks 1), b,and the outer ends thereof are engaged by cam grooves a a formed inthe'swingin'g ends of the arms I), b which are located at the outerfaces of'said disks and are engaged with the pivot studs 6 b so thatsaid arms are adapted to swing or oscillate on the paper-carrier aboutan axis concentric with the disks 6, b. "As shown,- "said arms have theform of flat, sector shaped plates, Two fixed stops 6 ,17 are secured tothe frame plates E, E in position for contact therewith of the oppositeedges of the arms. b .6 when the paper-carrier approaches-the endof itsswing in each direction when it is turned or oscillated, so that saidarms 6 b will'be swung or. moved crelatively to the paper-carrier ateach turning movement of the latter; the cam ooves a, a of sa d armserving to move or shift the impression roller either toward or awayfrom the ty e in the manner hereinafter described. T e disks 6, b areprovided with radial stop-shoulders B B arranged at a distance apart,circumferentiall'y of the disks, less than the distance between theopposite edges of the arms 5 b said" shoulders being adapted for contactwith the stops b so as to limit the. swinging movements or' oscillationsof the paper-carrier in both directions Each of-the disks 6, b hasa'ttachedto its outer facea flat 'spring 6 provided with a lag orprojection e adapted for engagement with either one or two notches 6 6formed in the pivoted ends of the arms 6 b which are concentric with.the pivotal axis of'the disks 6, b. Engagement of the lug 6 with one orthe other of the said notches e 6 servesto hold thearms 6 b. yieldinglyfrom swinging movement relatively to the disks 5, b, so that'said armsmove with said d1sks 1n the swinging or oscillatory ,movement of thelatter until the movement of the arinsis arrested by contact of the samejac'ent to a 'slot or opening m which is formed in the side wall of thecaSingM, for the: passage of the printed strip ofpaper from the casing.The strip of paper passes Withone pair of the stops b b Two feed rollers0 c are mounted betweenthe side plates E, E, above the upper end of thesegmental type-carrier A and adfrom the roll of paper G between the im-1 pression and inking .rollers to the feed wvice'D (Fig. 5).

passing from said feed rollers 0 c the strip passes through a cutting orperforating de- Said cutting device em braces a cross-bar (1, attachedto the extremities of two arms (Z (Z which are piv- "otally mounted atthe opposite side of the machine frame. Said cross-bar carries a cutter(Z adapted to act downwardly against a block cZ which is supportedbetween the side plates E, E, as shown in Fig. 3. Said cutter (Z ispressed by a spring (Z which acts on the arms 15 (F, toward the saidblock 03*. against the action of the spring (1 by means of two operatinglevers (Z,'cZ mounted one on each of the sideplates E, E. The upper endsof said levers d, d bear againstthe said arms (Z (Z and their lower endsare located in'position to be acted upon by stop pins 6W"; 0W, (Z (Zsecured on the-outer Said arms (Z (Z are swung upwardly faces of thedisks (3, b, in the swinging on oscillatory movements of thepaper-carrierv The sto 3 ins (Z d are arranged in )osition to strike thelower ends of the levers d,- (Z? at the end of the advance or printlngstroke of the carrier, when the same is turned in the directionindicated by the arrowin Fig.

3, and to thereby swing said levers in a direction to lift the saidarms. which are held elevated by the upper ends of said levers. The stoppins (2 (Z""" are arranged to act in a reverse direction on the lower orreturn stroke of the paper-carrier. with the effect of swinging theupper ends ofsaid levers in a direction to release the said arms (P, (land permit the cutter (Z to act-upon the paper.

The lowermost feed roller 0 is mounted,

at=-i-ts ends in plates (Z cl (Figs. 3. and 20) which are pivotallysupported in the side plates E'," E and upon which the block (1* iseccentrically mounted, said block (Z being attached at its ends to theinner faces of the said plates (Z (Z outside of the central axisthereof. The lower feed roller 0 is eccentrically mounted in the platesZ cZ so that with the turning of said plates said feed roller 0 may beshifted away from theupper feed roller to permit the free withdrawal ofthe paper. Said plates d, d are shown as being provided with annularexternal bearing shoulders which enthe bearing spindle of said roller 0being engaged withbearing apertures formedv in said plates-d al insideof said-annu-.. lar bearing shoulders, as clearly seen n Figs. 3 and 20.For actuating the} sa1d feed rollers 0 and 0 the lower feed roller 0 isprovidedat one end outside'of the'frame gage circular apertures in theplates E,-E;'

plate'E (Fig.4) with a toothed wheelc adapted to mesh with a toothed'wheel '0 attached to the adjacent en'd ofthe'upperfeed roller 0. Said:feed roller 0 is driven or rotated through the medium of toothed mittedwheels 0, c and 0 mounted on the side plate E. The toothed .wheel 0 isin mesh fixed spindle c and the wheel 0 is provided 'with a springpressed pawl which engages ratchet teeth formed on the hub of and rateiet teeth. said .feed rollers are perto remain stationary during theprinting operatit'm. when the paper-earrinand quadrant 1 are moving inthe direction indicated' by t'he arrow in Fig. l; the wheel at this timerotating freely to render the gearing y-i-noperative. During the reverserotationof the paper-carrierand said quadrant flfif t'he pmvlc engagessaid ratchet teeth androtates the feed rollers through the action of thegear wheels a and c. The quadrant 1" has attached to it a sector 7'having marginal teeth or notches which are engaged bv a springcontrolled detent 7" which is pivoted on the frame plate E and isarranged to permit the said sector j' to s\'ving or move ast the same inboth directions, but is adapted to restrain said sector from backwardmovement if any attempt be made to swing the.paper-ca1.rier backwardlyat any point intermediate between the ...extremities of its normal rangeof movement, required for e ti'ecting the operation of the printingdevice.

The number of tickets sold is recorded by means of counters G, G (Fig.6) operated by aslide 9 whichis reciprocated by an arm 9* mounted uponthe spindle Z) of the papercarrier. 011 the slide g is mounted a secondslide 9 which is capable of adjustment in relation to the counters G insuch manner that either one of several projections 9 on the slide willbe brought into position to operate upon oneot'. the counters G whichrecord""independently thenumber of different priced tickets sold; thecounter G for recording the total number of tickets being "rmanentconnection with the slide 9.

The" adjustment of the slide 9 is etlected 'by a cam-H secured to ashaft L which rototes with the roller 'h, (Fig. 9) whereoi i the typefor-printing the price of the. fare is earned.- Connection between theslide and thocam H is effected by a pi'votally.

mounted arm 7L furnished with-pins k li the" pin 7L engaging" with aslotf in the slide 9 while the pin h engages a groove 71. in the cam TL-Iach of the counters G which I prefer to employ, comprises. three disks,one forunits. one for tens and one for hundreds. These disks areoperated byile- 'vers g severally. acted upon by one of the protectionsg on theslide g.

The types for printing the names of the stations. and the faresaccording to'the preferred construction illustrated in the princi- Bythe action ofsaid pawltail in Figs. 7. Sand 9,'are supportedand operatedas follows: The rollers. It, 72. having the station-printing type, andthe rollers it having the fare-printing typeare loosely mounted on thehollow shaftL, which is adapted to be rotated in the side plates (1, aof the typecarrier A and which extends at one end through the. casing Mof the machine. M eans are provided for severally holding the saidtype-wheels h, It 11 yieldingly from otation, consisting, as shown, ofspring arms 1'1 one for each of the said t \'pc wheels. the ends ofwhich engage the said type u heels in a familiar manner. The station andthe 'l'are- 'ninting wheels are grooves It with which a feather formedon a spindle 0. which slides in the hollow -loosel v mounted twoindicator wheels J,J'

which are lettered or numbered to correspond with the statio11-)1'iiiti11g wheels and are provided with grooves j, j 'corres mndingwith those in the wheels It, h, It. Said wheels J, J are adapted to beoperatedby a second'feather I on the spindle Z, adapted to engage saidgrooves j. j. ()n the outer extremity of the shaft L is secured a wheelK. which serves as a handle for turning the shaft, and alsoasafare-indi'cator. for which purpose its periphery is marked tocorrespond with the fare-printing wheel. Spring each formed withinterior. longitudinal" actuated detents j, j are provided for sevcrallyholding the said indicator wheels from rotation except.- when locked toand turned by said shaft. The spindle l is furnished with atlnrd featherI which, by engaging notches 1" formed in one of the side.plates 1/ orknob by which it may be shifted endwise in the hollow shaft T; for thepurpt'ise of.

The date-printing device, asshown in Figs.- 3, 7 and 8, comprises a printing roller N'f or themonths, and printing rollers 71,42? for the days of the month, allmounted on aspindle a supported in the side plates a, a of the carrierA.For the more convenient adjustment of the date printing rollers, thesame may be arranged as shown in 'Figs. 16 and 17. In this instance, therollers N, n* are secured to sleeves a, n, while the roller n is securedto the spindle M. The sleeve n turns bn the spin- (lien and the sleeve nsurrounds the sleeve n while the ends of both of said sleeves extendthrough the plate a at one side of the type carrier. On the outerextremities of the sleeves and of .the spindle are mounted disks n", a,a, marked to indicate the months and days of the month; an arrow orother mark being made on the side of the type-carrier to operate inconnection with the marks on said disks for indicating the printingposition of the rollers.

The device for printing the consecutive numbers on the tickets comprisesa spindle 0, Figs. '7 and S, on which are loosely mounted a plurality oftype disks 0. The spindle extends through the side plates a, a of thetype-carrier and one end of said splndle projects at one' side of thetype-carrier and.

has secured to its extremity a spring actuated arm 0, Fig. 4-, which isoperated by an arm 0 mounted 'on the segment F. Said armo is pivotallyconnected with the segment. F and is held by a spring, against a stop onsaid segment. so that the said arz will .yieldbackwardly and pass overthe arm o in the movement of the segment F in the direction of the arrowin Fig. 4. but

will actuate said arm o to turn the spindle O in the movementof saidsegment in the 1 v D I I C producing a sutucient degree of frictionalopposite direction.
